Well, I'm not able to use "su -" because I don't know the root
password.  So I used "ksu" instead, although without the "-".  Other
than that, I followed the instructions.  I guess I should've set HOME.

Are you sure?  Is it really not possible for root to commit to any
local CVS repository?  I'm very surprised as this, but I haven't done
the experiment myself.  What is it that prevents this from working?
